Tough week indeed. Have done the water thing myself, more than I want to admit. The J.B. weld will work, as you have already seen, But if you want to do a more permanent repair, let me suggest Ni-Rod. This is a high Nickel rod that can be used for repair on cast iron. The big advantage is that Nickel is very flexible. Nickel is almost like Gold in flexibility. Have repaired many exhaust manifolds with this rod. Have to hold a fairly long arc though. Maybe your repairs are enough. Good Luck. And Thanks.thanks all bj
Usually the low grade stuff made from scrap metal is almost impossible. After you've laid out the bead, the cast iron cracks due to thermal expansion/contraction.
Some parts need to be pre-heated before welding and allowed to cool slowly.
Definitely not an every day job.
Maybe the JB Weld will hold for a long time...Warrior__ "Why can't Murphy's Law be used to my advantage??"[ Parent ]
